    From the linearity relation and from the given circuit

    Vout = AVs1 + Bis2 ⇒ (A) for appropriate A and B. The data from table imply that
    3 = A × 5 + B × 0, which gives A = 0·6
    Here A is dimensionless because Vout and Vs1 are both voltages.
    Also, 6 = A × 0 + B × 2, which gives B = 3Ω
    Here B has the unit of ohm. Therefore, the linear equation relating Vs1 and i s2 to Vout is
    Vout = 0·6Vs1 + 3is2
    Now, when Vs1 = 10V and is2 = 8A then
    Vout = 0·6 × 10 + 3 × 8 = 30V.

    From figure

    V – 20    0°
    +
    V
    = 0·5Vx ......…(i)
    1020

    and V – 20 0° = – Vx
    or
    Vx = 20 0° – V …(ii)
    Now,
    V – 20    0°

    and
    Vx = 20 0° – V = 20 0° – 18·46 0°
